A new survey shared with The Defiant shows that while many Brazilians appear to trust stablecoins, using them in everyday life is still a challenge.

A July 2025 report from payments app Oobit that surveyed Brazilian crypto users aged 23 to 45 found that around 91.8% hold stablecoins — mostly Tether (USDT) — and about 85% say they want to use crypto for daily purchases. Still, only 54.3% have ever paid with crypto, and just 37% have done so in stores or online.

“Brazil is actively embracing stablecoin adoption. USDT dominates. Crypto literacy is high. And people aren’t just holding - they’re actively engaging on an advanced level. But when it comes to spending? Usage collapses,” Oobit’s report states.
